Christmas in the Birthplace of Jesus

The biggest event during the holiday season is at the Church of Nativity in Bethlehem. It is festively decorated with flags and arrangements. On Christmas Eve, crowds swarm to witness the annual procession were horsemen and police on Arabian horses begin the parade. Churchmen and government officials precede them in this celebration. Once the procession has entered the church, they follow along a staircase that leads them into a grotto where a silver star marks the spot where Jesus was born.

As people venture into the city of Bethlehem, one may notice crosses painted on the doors of homes and many, many manger scenes. These stars and manger scenes represent the homes of Christians.

You can represent your religion like those in Bethlehem with star and moon silver earrings or horoscope pendants from Janeo Jewels.
